High school football: Previewing Class B title game between Laverne, Alex

BY JACOB UNRUH, Staff Writer, junruh@opubco.com | Dec 5, 2014

No. 1 Laverne vs. No. 3 Alex
When: 7 p.m., Saturday
Where: Southwestern Oklahoma State University, 100 E. Campus Dr., Weatherford
Online: www.nfhsnetwork.com
Records: Laverne 12-0, 9-0 District B-1; Alex 13-0, 9-0 District B-2
How they got here: Laverne — def. Geary 58-0, def. Keota 62-48, def. Davenport 54-20
Alex — def. Turpin 64-14, def. Weleetka 60-14, def. Dewar 60-28
Players to watch: Laverne — Tanner Allen, QB. The senior rushed for 133 yards and four touchdowns in last week’s rout of Davenport, overcoming two interceptions. He’s been a steady force for the Tigers.
Alex — Kyler Thornburg, RB. Thornburg rushed for more than 230 yards and four touchdowns against Dewar last week, but he didn’t stop there. He took the game’s opening kickoff back for a touchdown and also caught a touchdown pass.
Storylines: Laverne — The Tigers’ winning streak is now at 40, an impressive number many expect to continue this week. Laverne has allowed just 22 points this season behind its stout defense, which gathered four interceptions last week.
Alex — Alex got off to a fast start last week in both halves, which would be a huge benefit in this matchup. Fall behind early, and things could snowball out of control.
The pick: Laverne 48, Alex 32

Favorite: Laverne Winners of 37 straight games, the Tigers have been in the No. 1 spot all season. Running back Dalton Birch has played a key role on the previous two title teams and is causing problems for defenses once again, with Tanner Allen playing well at quarterback.

Scott Wright | Nov 9, 2014

Favorite: Laverne
Winners of 37 straight games, the Tigers have been in the No. 1 spot all season. Running back Dalton Birch has played a key role on the previous two title teams and is causing problems for defenses once again, with Tanner Allen playing well at quarterback.
Toughest road: Keota
A top-10 team all year, the 9-1 Lions drew another ranked opponent, Garber, in the first round, with potential matchups against No. 1 Laverne and No. 2 Davenport lined up ahead of them.
Team to watch: Davenport
The Bulldogs climbed to No. 2 behind an impressive defensive performance over the course of the season. They've allowed only 22 points all year, and just eight in the last seven games.

High school football: Staff picks for the top 10 games of Week 10

Trent Shadid | Nov 6, 2014

Here's how The Oklahoman's high school sports staff picked the top 10 football games in Week 10:
Scott Wright
Guthrie 35, Deer Creek 21
Hennessey 21, Chisholm 20
Bethany 27, John Marshall 22
Ada 21, Harrah 20
Roland 21, Eufaula 14
Casady 28, Dallas Episcopal 24
Ringling 21, Healdton 20
Davis 49, Kingston 20
Dewar 48, Keota 22
Beggs 42, Checotah 34
Lock of the week: Ringling over Healdton. Healdton has been much better than expected this season, and has risen to the point to have a shot at the district title. But Ringling is still too much to handle. Coach Tracy Gandy has been fighting through health problems since the summer, and his team battles the same way on the football field every Friday night. Their toughness wins this one.

Guthrie 35, Deer Creek 20
Hennessey 28, Chisholm 22
Bethany 35, John Marshall 28
Harrah 27, Ada 24
Roland 20, Eufaula 14
Casady 21, Dallas Episcopal 14
Ringling 27, Healdton 21
Davis 35, Kingston 24
Dewar 48, Keota 32
Beggs 28, Checotah 19
Lock of the week: Bethany over John Marshall. Kyle Duke and Co. have been impressive throughout the season, and will ultimately be too much on offense for John Marshall.

Guthrie 35, Deer Creek 20
Hennessey 21, Chisholm 13
John Marshall 24, Bethany 20
Ada 35, Harrah 34
Eufaula 27, Roland 21
Dallas Episcopal 21, Casady 20
Ringling 27, Healdton 20
Davis 28, Kingston 6
Dewar 44, Keota 30
Beggs 34, Checotah 22
Lock of the week: Davis over Kingston. Kingston has been a bit of a surprise this season at 8-0 while easily winning most of its games. However, Davis is just too good having won 24 straight games over the past two seasons and 25 straight in this series.
Here are the standings after Week 9:
Scott (55-35, 6-3)
Jacob (55-35, 8-1)
Trent (53-37, 5-4)
